Baked BBQ Chicken Wings, Celery Sticks, and Garlic Herb Potatoes

Dinner Tonight: Baked BBQ Chicken Wings, Celery Sticks, and Garlic Herb Potatoes

Feeling a lot better today! I even got a full night's sleep. Almost all the swelling on my right ear area is gone but my hearing isn't quite back all the way though. With feeling better I'm back to solid food.

So for Breakfast I prepared some Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, Meijer Diced Ham, 1 Egg Sunny Side Up, and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. The Hash Browns, Ham, and Egg make a perfect Breakfast Bowl! After Breakfast I headed to Meijer to do some grocery shopping. Back home gave Mom a hand with the laundry and some house cleaning. Got the cart out for a bit. Watched some College Football then the rest of the day. For Dinner tonight I prepared Baked BBQ Chicken Wings, Celery Sticks, and Garlic Herb Potatoes.




At Meijer I bought a bag of Meijer Brand BBQ Chicken Wings. First time trying this brand Wings.Mom and Dad had been wanting some Wings so that's what we are having for Dinner. The Wings come frozen and already Seasoned.











To prepare them I preheated the oven on 375 degrees. Then got a large baking sheet, lined it with foil and sprayed the foil with Pam Cooking Spray. Lined the Wings up in the pan and when the oven was ready I baked them. for about 27 minutes. Pulled them from the oven and let them sit for 3 minutes and served! The Wings were excellent! They were nice size and the Seasoning and BBQ Sauce was spot on. Served it with Celery Sticks along with Litehouse Lite Blue Cheese Dressing.






For a side Dad wanted some Potatoes so I picked up a package of Little Potato Company Garlic and
Herb Potatoes. They come in a tin, ready for the oven container. Preheated the oven to 450 and sat the container on a small baking sheet. It comes with a Seasoning Packet of Garlic and Herb. I first brushed the Potatoes with Extra Light Olive Oil and then Seasoned them with Seasoning Packet. Baked the for 45 minutes. The Potatoes came out perfect. Really enjoyed the Seasoning on them. Served them with a side of Daisy Light Sour Cream. Wings, Celery, and Potatoes for Dinner tonight! For a Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop - Pop Corn and a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.

For Breakfast I had Jennie - O Turkey Breakfast Sausages, Eggo's Egg White Scrambled Egg, 2
slices of toasted Aunt Millie's Light Whole Grain Bread. and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Afterwards had my morning workout. Next cleaned the kitchen, and set the oven stove on clean. Mom and dad went to Church this morning and I finished up some laundry for Mom. Ran the vacuum real quick and done for the day. From there it was an afternoon of NFL Football. I put a Chuck Roast in the crock pot for Mom and Dads dinner, along with Potatoes and Carrots. I had been wanting some Chicken Wings so that's what I had for my dinner.






I had been wanting some Chicken Wings, so while at Walmart yesterday I picked up a bag of  Tyson Smoky BBQ Wings. To prepare them I just followed the instructions on the bag. Preheated the oven to 450°F. Then lined a rimmed baking sheet with foil and sprayed with non-stick spray. Placed the frozen chicken wing sections on a pan in a single layer. Then baked the on upper rack for 35 – 38 minutes, until the juices ran clear when thickest part of the chicken temperature read 180°F. on an instant thermometer.






After preparing the Tyson Wings several times I have found out to keep them from sticking, spray
both sides of the Wings with a light coat of Pam Spray. The Wings came out perfect! They crisped up nice and had and excellent Smokey BBQ flavor, and all are above normal size Wings! I had a side of Celery Sticks and Litehouse Lite Bleu Cheese Dressing/Dip. For dessert later a bowl of Holiday Chex Mix.

Another sunny day out again. We had a high in the 40's, which means more the snow piled up keeps melting away! Had a bowl of Bran Flakes for Breakfast with my usual cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Worked out and then had to go to Kroger for Mom. I've been so good on my Diabetes 2, Great blood work return from the Doc and also good readings when I take it here at the house. So good that today is what I like calling a 'Free Day". That's where I have an item or items that I normally don't have. Sometimes its a Pizza, Arby's, Wendy's and such. But today I went with my biggest temptation DONUTS! While at Kroger I bought a couple of Chocolate  Glazed Cake Donuts! I can't even describe how incredible those were, I savored every bite.
